I have been playing The First Descendant for a while now and honestly, it has become a really fun game for me. I had tried playing Destiny with friends but time/availability + paid DLCs kinda killed it for me. Watching them get further in the game was nice but not being able to participate kinda blew. With The First Descendant though, we've had so much going on in such a short span, and it's all ... FREE. Sure, you can BUY descendants, but that doesn't automatically make you immortal, even paid characters can drop like flies! I've had so much fun building tankier setups that can clear wave after wave, different descendants, to building ultimates. It can be grindy, but as a game it isn't a "bad" grind. You'll always be farming for something, weapons, descendants, reactors, modules, external components, whatever it takes to make your beef-cake beefier.

People complaining about sexualizing the descendants don't realize that the people "sexualizing" them are doing so because they *want* to. They have plenty of outfits that aren't sexual in nature, this month you can even get 4 unique outfits (2 for Valby, 2 for Bunny, they work on ultimate or base descendant) that aren't sexual at all! FOR FREE! I have no idea why people have to complain, it's not like you HAVE to get the "provocative" outfits. If you don't want it, don't get it. That simple.

The First Descendant offers a variety when it comes to game play that I genuinely find intriguing and enjoyable to partake in. From trying to be sneaky sharen, to wild and fierce fire boy Blair, I've just been having a bunch of fun. I plan on trying to get as many descendants on my roster as possible. Any descendant you don't enjoy, you can just get rid of them and farm for someone else!


It isn't rocket science, but somehow Nexon actually came out with a really great looter-shooter that I've just managed to enjoy the heck out of. Thank you for giving me so many hours of fun. I plan to keep playing for quite some time.
